About SacAnime

SacAnime’s first convention was held at the Sunrise Mall in July 2004.  It was such a huge success that it continued to grow, moving to the Scottish Rite Center in 2005, then the Woodlake Hotel in 2009 and finally the Sacramento Convention Center in 2013.  SacAnime’s philosophy has always been to provide a fun, safe, family friendly environment, with top shelf entertainment, at a reasonable price.  Most of SacAnime’s events are included with general admission and many guest celebrities sign the first autograph for free.
